White Refugees.
The following account of the sufferings of loyal
refugees from the Smith is addressed to Rev. Daniel
Washburn, rector of Trinity Church, in this city.
Re will be glad to receive and forward other stores
for their relief, and articles may be sent to he resi
dence, 625 Catharine street :
ClAlito, 111., April 15, 1884.
'lnv. AND Daart BaCromt: / have deferred an
merger; your] lest until I should be able to tell you
that the box of clothing. lent by the ladies of your
dparish had arrived. hasten been told to-day that
e box is here, and to acknowledge its re
cant. We are very glad and thankful that our ap
peals in behalf of toe destitute Union refugees ar
riving here in such numbers, are awakening sympa
thy at the East, and that substantial aid is begin
ning toilet., in, to help us in our work of caring for
them while here, and enabling them to find homes
at the Nur th,
One of the most painful features in this sad mi
gration Of homeless fugitives, lathe condition of the
Me children. In every party of refugees landed
here, there are always a number of helpless child
ren, many of them orphans or fatherless. I have
seen them in shivering groups on the levee, clad in
were rags. most of them guttering with colds, mea
sles, or other diseases caused by exposure and hard
ship. Many of the poor little things die before we
can obtain homes for them. They are taken to the
Temporary Rome, warmly clothed, and made as
comfortable as possible, but wane, Buttering, mid
disease have in many eases committed such ravages
upon their poor little frames that but little can be
done for them. One family came in a few weeks
ago. consisting of five children, their parents, and an
aged grandmother. We could not restrain our tears
a. the latter, a poor old woman Of seventy live, told
us in tremulous tones of the haidehips they had un
dergone. She had but a tingle garment on, having
taken part of her own clothing to make the children
More comfortable. A day or two after they had
been placed in the ‘V Home" she suddenly died ; and
one slier another of the family was called away,
until now only the mother and two of the
children are left. And this is only one case Out
of hundreds that might be described, No one can
imagli.e, unless on the spot to bear the sad tale trom
their own lips, how greatly these poor wanderers
have puttered and are suffering.
Thank the ladies of your congregation for their
very prompt rejoinder to our appeal. Ask the pray-
Ile of all your people for Goa's blessing upon the
labors of those who are working for Christ in this
trying fleld, and accept, dear brother, our best
wishes for the spiritual and temporal prosperity of
yourself and the flock among whom it-is your
happy lot to minister. Affewionately, yours in the

The London News on the Reorganization
of the National Army.
Now Yoram, March is.
A general order appeared from General Grant yes.
tetday morning, announcing that he takes the Qom ,
rusted in chief of the army, and that hie headgear
tern are for the pi esent with the Army of the Po
tomac. This is, to most people, Mote a surprise
and a relief. Rumors of General Meade's removal
have been afloat for several weeks, and the •Con
gressional Committee at present engaged In an
h. gutsy "into the conduct of the war,' have for
the last week been occupied in a most absurd and
unprofitable investigation into a charge against him
1.4 having intended to retreat before the battle of
Gettysburg, mainly supported by General Sickles.
The p bhe was begin.n,ng to fear, therefore, IWO
Meade was about to be sacrificed, as Generals Pope
and Burnside and Hooker undoubtedly were, to the
intrigues of his subordinates, and that we should see
him succeeded by one of the latter, who in his turn
.would make way for anmehods else in a few months.
Ever since McClellan's day that army has in fact been a

posts with his own creatures, and they never forgot their
benefactor,

were bound up with his. After his removal they deter

of them have, of courts, been gradually weeded out,
to that it can hardly be said now that any high com
mand is filled by a IlleClellanite, properly so called.
But the spirit which they crested remains behind
them, and it may safely be said that there is hardly
a general of a corps or of a division in that army
who does not aspire to the chief command ; and is
not constantly engaged in pushing his claims
to it, not by positive disobedience of orders—
no one has attempted this but Fitz Johu
Poster, and he was cashiered for it-but by
want of diligence and energy in obeying team—
want, in short, of all hearty co-operation. And
there is a constant tendency amongst them to take
the reanotaibility of making little coups on their
own account, with the view of getting up a reputa
tion distinct from that of the general in command.

loped by the frequent changes in the command in
chief. The insecurity of each commanding genera
naturally opens up tempting possibilities to all
around. Everybody feels that the choice may next
fall on him, and he longs for a fresh change in
order to have his chance. You may imagine the
effect of all this upon discipline,and upon the
general's power of executing ombined move
ments in such a country as Virginia. Whet haw
been wanted to put an end-to this state of things
was the accession to the chief command of a man
of sufficiently high reputation to place him above
rivalry, 'and silence cavilling and criticism. This
Grant possesses, and it is generally felt that he will
now get out of the Army of the Potomac LOOM than
anybody else has ever got out of it. The morale of
the rank and file is, I hear from every side, excellent.
The men have grown into real soldiers, and advance,

quilly, without much regard to who loads them.
General Meade, I presume, will still retain the
command under Grant, and as the two beat generals
on each side are now pitted against each other for
the first time, we look forward to a campaign of ex
.traordinary interest in Virginia. It is believed by
persons whose opinion on these matters is usually
valuable, that Grant's plan involves the cessation
of offensive operations in Tennessee beyond vigor.
ous cavalry raids ; the maintenance of a force at
Chattanooga sufficiently strong to hold John
*ton in check, and threaten Georgia, now the
Southern granary and arsenal; the keeping open
of the Mississippi by vigorous operations against
the bands that, still infest Western Lonielana
and Arkansas ; and the concentration of all other
forces, except those at Charleston, for an attempt to
finish Lee and take Richmond, and drive the enemy
into the eastern cotton States. I think this, or
something like this, is the programme for the sum
mer; so that the next campaign will be fought for
the possession of Virginia. On What line. Grant
will operate against Richmond I ens unable to pre
dict, and I doubt if any one knows, but I am in
clined to think that he will combine an advance
passim% Lee's position in front with a movement on
his communications from the peninsula. I under•
stand that, alter having examined the situation on
his recent visit to Washington, he insisted on the
immediate formation of a strong reserve, and 200,-
000 more men have accordingly been called for. The
general belief is that his intention is to "force the
fighting," and to force the Confederates to develop
their whole strength at whatever cost, so that the
result if unsuccessful may be fatal. There is in his
mind, as well as in that of the public, a profound
conviction of the necessity of putting an end to the
war on a great scale this mummer, and tremendous
efforts will be made to do it, so that I look for, per
haps, the bloodiest campaign of the war.
Slerman takes Grant's place in command of the
"Military Division of Mississippi. He is un
questionably an able soldier, and enjoys more of
arant's confidence than perhaps any other officer.
His fault is that he is hard to the verge of cruelty, a
man of iron, who in war sees nothing but war, and is
disposed to lay a heavy hand on the South. The

favorable time for its oona deration. he moved that it be
Postponed till the second Tuesday in December nazi.
Mr. AN.II O I.D. of Illinois recognized the gentleman
as an earnest and sincere friend of the measure.. Having
c,nenited with itsfriends sea conferred with 'the MI
1100, delegation, he was compelled. very reluctantly, not
to oppose the motion of the gentleman from Kassa
usetis. He ban hoped that this Congress would have
tuthorized this great national improvement to be cony
menced a- another Huh to hold the Oaten together.
Mr STOW ART, of Illinole. also alluded to the fact
that the delegation from that State had. in view of our

Mr. brAVMS said that all the States, apart from

he h. peo that the Monte would do Jae lice to those who
advanced the money to Pennerl-rantat to defray the or
emcee. Be had trusted that the claim Would have re
ceived a fair, honest, and candid consideration, but he
Was inclined to regard the substitute of Mr. Coz as in
tended to defeat the bill. Mr. Stevens caned a letter to
be read from the secretary of War rec tmmending an ap
proptiation of *7OO. COO at j nstly due, and this Was en'
~o..eed by President 1 inooln.

My eI`LVENS remarked that the refusal to pay a
claim of this kind is not hots at.
Mr KALBFLEISCH. of New York, would not say
that the Judgment of the gentleman from Penneylverna
was pot honest. but it was warped mightily.
Mi. °ANSON said that Pennsylvania did not main
tain a position better than any other State to give her a
preference. Some of her militia were not mustered into
the service of the United States. He offered an amend
ment, that none of the money shalibe paid to those who
refused to be mustered into the service of the United
&attn.
Mr STETSISI6 showed from the report of the Adjutant
General of Pennsylvania that the militia were mas
tered in.

Mr GANSON replied that there was evidently a mis
understanding.between Pennsylvania and the General
Government.

sublect into consideration, and see what is dna to all the
loyal states fez equipping and sending troops into the

to their pa_yment from the treasury .
Mr. DA.wlss. of Massachusetts. did not think the bill
should be ouposed on the ground that the militia were
Pot mustered Into the service of the United States. It
was MSS certain they were In the service He opposed
the bill for other reasons, namely, the present state of
the treasury, and thought Massachusetts. Penneviva

she had no opportunity of unfolding her own records.
The people of that State have never been slow to do their
duty. and have failed in no particular. She was prompt
to respond to the call for troops, In behalf of whom this
bill was intended. Be did not believe. as had
been asserted •that this Government is on the
verge of bankruptcy. The debt of the country
in the future was the last of its troubles, and by war of

York and New Jersey bad hastened to protect the bor

and magnanimity due to those States, he claimed that
they de:ended deems:elves when they defended Pennsyl

State. the seat of trouble would have been transferred to
those States. Without disposing of the bill the commit

"The Basis of the New Republic." No charge was
made for admission, and only a small . audience was
present. After a patriotic song had been sung the
speaker was introduced to the audience, and during
a period of about forty minutes reiterated the doe.
trines and arguments of the ultra Abolitionists.
He condemned the amnesty and disfranchisement
policy of the President as being no policy, and was
especially indignant that the colored people had not
been allowed to vote at the eleation recently held to

" Tals 'OCTOROON" 1w It:RAI. LINN —A handsome
octoroon girl ori A Mississippi plantation WfiA man
ried eight years ago to a mulatto on the same plants,
tion, and was afterwards mold to another planter,
owing to her master's pecuniary difficulties. The
couple were plainly told that she was intended as
the new owner's mistress. Entreaties only resulted
in her husband being savagely beaten anti her belee ,
to ken away. The wretched girl attempted suicide
without success, and had no chance of escape, being
ultimately forced to submit to her fate. She had
one child by her brutal owner. George, the husband,
afterward escaped, and succeeded in getting to El,
rope on board an English ship, lie travelled mph
there as a servant to families, and, a short time
since, returned to Cleveland. Meanwhile, on the
capture of New Orleans, the woman's owner had
lied, and she escaped to Philadelphia, where she has
since resided with a family as servant. Having
gone to Cleveland a short time since on a visit, she
met her long lost husband in the street, and both
manifested the most intense joy. Thus, after so
long and cruel a separation, they are happily re.
united.—Netv Orleans Ere.

Gap (pays the Chattanooga Gazette) were mush
alarmed on the 13th by a rumor that there was a till
man being in an old saltpetre cave near the Gap, sup.
posed to be the same cave recently visited by Colonel
Bingham, while on picket. The Colonel fatted to
explore it on account of noxious vapors issuing
from the opening. The ladies, God bless them! ever
ready to respond to the calls of humanity, hurried
to the rescue, but their united efforts were insuffi
cient to extricate the sufferer.
Surgeon Marks, Medical Director of the Division,
and Surgeon Powers, of the artillery, were sent for,
and alter a great deal of labor the poor fellow was
taken from his living tomb. He was immediately
recognized as John Harrison, Jr. It is supposed
that this unfortunate man was deposited in the cave
about the middle of last August, by his father, who
is connected with the Mining and Nitre Bureau or
the 0. S. A., and that be has remained there ever
since. When taken out he was entirely helpless and
speechless, and although youthful, was wholly des

the Government five per cent. of what the same
number of white troops cost. But in doing this work
he laid aside all style, all form, and ceremony, went
into negro churches nights, Sundays, whenever he
could get an audience, and always addressed them on
this, the great day of their salvation.
MAXIMILIAN AND TH3 SOUTH.--Tile Richmond
Examiner makes an effort to be lively over the news
that Maximilian has snubbed Slidell, remarking:
"NV ho is this Maximilian, and what is his empire,
that we should court his notice, and invite him to
give us so cool a ant t Our Government has existed
three years ; his Empire is not yet quite born. Ours
has stood alone—emphatically and gloriously alone ;
bis cannot walk, and must be carried for many a day
in the nurse's arms. We have sustained for three
years the shock of a tempest of war so potent and
terrible that one-tenth part of it, directed against
him, would sweep him, crown and all, back into the
Atlantic ocean."
What follows is so coolly impudent that it pro
vokes a girdle
"It is very much more important to the Empire to
be recognized by the Confederacy than to the Con
federacy to be recognized by the Empire. But this
is for the Emperor to find out, not for us to press
